  1. It would be highly beneficial if users could filter bills based on the assigned approver. Currently, there is no easy way to view all bills awaiting action from a specific approver, making it difficult to monitor approval workflows and follow up on outstanding items.

    A filter by approver would allow finance teams to quickly identify which bills are assigned to each manager or department head, improving visibility and accountability throughout the approval process.

  2. In Xero Accounting, users currently need to open each individual bill that is still awaiting approval to determine why it was rejected or not approved by the approver. This process becomes particularly time-consuming at month-end when there are multiple outstanding bills requiring review.

    It would significantly improve efficiency if users could simply hover over a bill in the "Awaiting Approval" list to view any comments or notes left by the approver explaining why the bill was not approved. Alternatively, displaying the approver's comments in a dedicated column or tooltip within the bills list would provide the same benefit.

  3. We currently export a large number of our bills from a third-party program and need to upload a PDF of the bill, however, when we do this a copy is also automatically added to our general files. This is annoying and simply creates clutter in the Files area - a copy of the PDF attached to the bill is sufficient, we don't require "back-up" copies as well. Can this annoying "feature" please be removed?

  4. Sometimes clients upload old bills or statements. It would be good to have an archive area so that they aren't sitting in draft bills forever. It makes it confusing but we don't want to delete them. Sometimes they also download bills but the previous period is locked. Again, we don't want to delete them - just archive them like in Hubdoc.

  5. This applies to sales and purchases.
    I think Xero product ideas has been as effective as screaming into the void ... however that did not work so I will try Xero Product ideas.

    1. Every time I have seen a Xero company use Prepayments it has been a ... mess.
    2. Users have prepayments going to various accounts, some with GST and some without and there are transactions in the Prepayments accounts that were not processed as Prepayments.
    3. You end up with prepayments scattered over the balance sheet, amounts in Prepayments that are not prepayments, and some have GST and some not.…

    Hi Alex, appreciate your feedback here and please know this is valued and does get attention from our teams. You'll see from the forums that there are many ideas for improvement that our customers feel could add value so the forums here help us understand and advocate for the idea that our community feels valuable.

    I want to make sure I'm interpreting your idea here correctly - Rather than a change to the prepayment transactions it sounds like you'd like to restrict posting to the Account prepayments are posted to in the Chart of Accounts and would like a separate account that purchase v sales prepayment transactions are automatically posted to. Would this be right? Please do let me know if I'm misunderstanding.
